What should I do if I catch a cold in the first month of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Female, 28 years old, has been trying to conceive with her husband for this period. She suddenly caught a cold these past two days and doesn't know if she is pregnant. She wants to ask what to do if she gets a cold after being pregnant for over a month.

Doctor's answer:

According to your condition, it is best not to take medication during pregnancy, especially antibiotics, as it may cause adverse effects on the fetus and increase the risk of fetal malformations. It is recommended that you undergo regular prenatal check-ups and closely monitor the baby's growth and development. Avoid consuming extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods, drink more water, and avoid getting cold. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable Grade A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
